While most the world will enjoy ‘The Fellowship of the Ring’ on December 19th, it seems that kiwis will have to wait a full week later to see what the fuss is all about.

While everyone else enjoys Christmas Day this year, Lord of the Rings fans will still be muttering “just one more sleep to go.” Why?

Because the movie’s going on general release here Boxing Day (december 26th, leo). The film’s distributors have named the day for the New Zealand premiere of the first in the trilogy.

But they won’t say whether Boxing Day will also be the international debut.

It’s not clear if screenings may be held overseas before New Zealand gets to see it.

Last year, Ringer spy Joe NZ was able to get some video from near the Edoras set. Unfortunately, because of bandwidth limitations they couldn’t send the video, but at least here are some screen shots! SPOILERS [More]

J NZ sends us some screencaptures from a video they took of Edoras last year. One of the images seems to show a helicopter with a camera mounted on the front. Check them out!

Well, well, well! Remember all the talk about poor ol’ Glorfindel being ousted from FotR because more room was needed for Arwen? A source close to the production says this is not entirely true! It seems Glorfindel will indeed be at the Ford of Bruinen, in a role slightly modified from the text. We have heard that Glorfindel gives Arwen his horse, Asfaloth, and bids her to hurry on across with Frodo. He then remains with Aragorn to harry the Ringwraiths into the waters. But wait! There’s more! Rumor has it that Glorfindel is actually at the Council of Elrond, as we read in the book.

So! Glorfindel’s in? Where does Arwen come from? Is there any chance Bombadil will make a cameo, after all? Mr. Jackson, if you could, please drop us an email and help set these rumors straight! ; )
